He's got gloves,protecting his big hands.('')

I always wear gloves ,hands are the hardest place for skin to repair after road rash .T shirt and gloves . It looks stupid but if you go down it is a natural reaction to try to protect your self with your hands .I wear all of the gear most of the time .Including draggin jeans .

I'm 6 feet 4 , 280 lb. I always wear gloves, some type of protective jacket (I have 3 jackets all made by Bering, one is for winter, one is mesh and for summer, and one is for cool but not so cold weather.) , I have FirstGear overpants that fit on any type of pants or shorts, and I always wear them in winter, fall and spring, but can't wear them in summer because it's too hot, and I have never ever ridden without a helmet since the police would stop you in 5 minutes if you ride without a helmet in London, and I got so used to this fact that I always wear it in Turkey as well. I had a major accident in January '10 where I fell off my bike on very rainy weather on the highway where I was doing about 50 mph, and miraculously nothing happened except a sprained left elbow (which I fell on) the asphalt was wet so I slid on my back for about 300 metres in the middle lane and stopped. I still am not sure why I fell, but it seems the back wheel of the bike got out of line compared to the front wheel due to some slight cracking on the road which caught my front wheel.. <-- not sure if this even makes sense. the bike started shaking, I tried to hold on but then fell on the left side as the bike leaned too much and started sliding.. I had full cover so my insurance paid Honda to repair the bike and I got back on it in no time. If I had not had my protective gear on, I'm sure I'd have broken a few things starting from my elbow, and it'd have been terrible, so please make sure you gear up whatever the weather conditions and however short your ride will be, it's always better than walking with a cast or worse

As some experienced people say : a skin is sufficient for 0.5m, the meat - for 1.5m and later - only bones, but not for a long way

I try to use protective clothes even it is hot, also gloves (but the S size )
